How much would that cost?


A house is never a finished product, but rather a constant work in progress. There is always a project I want to finish, and something I would like to change. However, the boy has issues with isn’t as enthusiastic about changing/adding anything to the house, unless it involves him and lots of tools. So last night we went to Lowe’s to look for hardware (for my latest project), when the boy announces that he is going to make an oak bed for the guest room, then he proceeds to walk me over to the oak wood and show me exactly what he was thinking it would look like and all the things he would need. Finally he brings me over to the electric saws and announces that in order to do this for me he would need one. Lets just say it took me a while to regain my composure and have a rational discussion about the cost of building vs. buying and I still won’t be surprised if he comes home next week with a lot of wood and a new saw. Boys will be boys!
